3-Iron

A South Korean movie which processes the romanticism in a different yet attractive way. It is about many minute things related to life but the emphasis is on love. The main characters stick to each other with a strong bond although they do not know each other and they never spoken a word to one another. They just keep their silence and speak with their eyes and gestures. It was like a proof to the sentence “Silence speaks better than words most of the time.”

The movie is also decorated with a nice song at the background named Gafsa by Natacha Atlas. Additionally the movie is known for the awards won in the several parts of the world.

I had a good time and I passionately recommend to those who haven’t seen it yet…

First of, I’m thrilled to have discovered your blog! I’m an avid foreign-film goer, so it was great to have your thoughts on 3-Iron. Incidentally, the TIFF or Toronto International Film Festival is on at the moment…I always love this time of year!

You are so lucky catching the time of festival, i would love to be there now..hehe
i try to follow foreign films as well especialy bolywood and some chinese, japanese films are my favourites…

about the Turkish movies, to be honest most of the time i dnt follow them, there are certain good ones, especially old ones, but unfortunately they are without subs. but i wll search for you and if i ever come across with subs, i wll surely inform you:)

oh so u know Duman…thts cool, its a good group…you are like me, i listen to hindi songs whole day not understandng any word, thts y i started to learn hindi…hehe..
if you are specifically curious about any lyrics of Duman, i can help you with the translation

Congrats on you learning Hindi, it’s not an easy job so I truly commend you!

Yes, I am Desi, but I live in Canada (grew up in Bombay)

Thank you so much for offering to translate some of Duman’s songs…for starters what does “Aman” mean and what is the song about? Just give me a very rough sketch, I wouldn’t want you to go through the trouble of explaining every line.

Yes, the Festival is fabulous and is showcasing some nice movies from India. “Firaaq” is one and “Kanchivaram” (Tamil movie) is another. Ofcourse “Singh is King” was also showcased but I didn’t go because i couldn’t get tickets!

From what I remember there is one Turkish movie at the Festival. It’s called “Sut” and the director is Semih Kaplanóglu.

Regarding the song, Aman does not have one-to-one counterpart in English as it is an exclamation stating despair or grief (the closest counterparts can be “alas” or “oofff” as an exclamation again)

the song is talking about the time, how fast the time flows away. it says while going here and there, while wandering around in our lives dealing with this and that we don’t realize time just flies away so fast hence making us upset.
In the song time is “zaman” =waqt 😀

Hope this helps you a bit to better understand the feelings hidden in the music:)

i saw Singh is King, it s a cute one, i realized Katrina improved herself in terms of acting.

about the Turkish movie i didnt see it even i didnt hear about it until you tell me…i sound like an indian rather than a Turkish…lol
